"The defendant (Whitehead) admitted to engaging in sexual contact with the complainant, who never responded or reciprocated," the complaint stated.

A 2007 study by the National Institute of Justice said one out of five undergraduate women experience an attempted or completed sexual assault while in college. Most of the attacks happen when the woman is incapacitated, usually by alcohol, according to the federal report.

The study also noted the majority of the sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows and trusts, rather than a stranger.

On Tuesday, Whitehead was in the Harris County Jail with bail set at $30,000. His next court date is set for May 16.
